GREENWOOD, S.C. | The Young Harris College men's lacrosse team fell on the road Friday night (Feb. 20), dropping a 21–8 decision to Lander.
The Mountain Lions showed early fight, trading goals in the opening quarter and staying within reach through portions of the first half. However, a large second and third quarter surge from the Bearcats created separation as Lander remained unbeaten on the season.
Young Harris received balanced scoring production with five different goal scorers, highlighted by multi-goal performances from Grady Stokes, Knox Holston, and Mathias Clark. The Mountain Lions continued to compete throughout the second half, but Lander's offensive run proved difficult to slow.
